drilling vs reamer
Here's an Opal GT spindle I ream the top side ball joint hole larger so it will take a VW Beetle ball joint. The bottom fits fine and doesn't need any reaming.
I make the cups to press the ball joints in and fabricate the upper and lower control arms for race car front suspensions using this setup.
The Opal spindles are forged steel and use the same size bearings as an Anglia, so it's easy to get spindle mount wheels for this setup.
Don't laugh at the radial drill, but it's the only thing we have that holds the Morse taper reamers we have in the correct 7 degrees taper angle needed.
So if you've got a hole that needs reamed I can take care of it. Oh and I do machine work on the side. :rofl:
